Price

Far below the going rate: £4,514 (53%) under the AskCar estimate of £8,414. Worth asking the dealer why.

The AskCar estimate is our expected asking price for this car. It uses UK dealer asking prices, accounting for make, model, trim, version, age, mileage, fuel, gearbox, body type, driven wheels, engine size and power. It is an advertised price, not a confirmed sale price.

It draws on 73 priced MINI Coupe adverts across different ages and specifications, as of 2 November 2026.

A 2012 MINI Coupe with the 1.6 petrol engine is typically advertised at £3,900: the median of the 26 for sale on AskCar, as of 2 November 2026.

Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: valid until 4 February 2027.

It failed its MOT on 28 January 2026 (central rear stop lamp(s) not working; nearside front tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords) and passed 8 days later, on 5 February 2026.

Advisories at the latest test: oil leak, but not excessive engine; rear registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread.

Mileage at that test: 102,245 miles. The advert says 10,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 59,900 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2012 MINI Coupe on AskCar.
